Clip-On Mirror Replacement Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Adjustable Type
Clip-On Mirror Replacement Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Adjustable Type
This is a worked specification for clip-on mirror replacement in a adjustable type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The adjustable type version exists because the duty cycle on assembly programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually warranty claims traced back to a single lot.
Example specification
| Item | Clip-On Mirror Replacement |
|---|---|
| Application | Assembly Programmes |
| Version | Adjustable Type |
| Base material | Kevlar Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | E-mark |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Kevlar Composite, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- sintering
- precision stamping
- cold forging
- laser cutting
- assembly line testing
- shot blasting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run adjustable type most often specify this build for assembly programmes. Related applications include municipal fleets, fleet maintenance, export programmes, utility trailers, city buses.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the E-mark-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
